Perfect Timing

Browsing around the web, I discovered two iPod touch/iPhone applications that time your contractions and then logs them for you so you can see if your contractions are getting closer together. Neat!

One is called Contraction Master ($.99). If you don't have an iPhone or iPod touch you can also use the application right from the website (for free)--provided you have the time (and sanity) to do so mid-labor. There are also applications to help you track nursing and diaper changes.

The other timer is called Labor Mate ($.99).

Hot Mama

Celebrity Baby Blog brought this wonderful creation to my attention today and I immediately thought of my friend and fellow blogger's personal hell.

Hey, it's going to a be a hot summer for us preggos, but the reality is many women (and their suffering, shivering husbands) could benefit from this stretchy and forgiving $54 night gown.



Cool Sets Wicking Sleep and Loungewear is ingenious whether you are a pregnant woman during these hot summer months or a woman in that other stage of your life when you suffer from "private summers" year round.

Stay cool hot mamas. Stay cool.

Week 28 Baby Bump: Smuggling a Basketball...

Check out my Spalding...

My baby bump has really taken off over the past 2 weeks and I certainly have the weight gain and (the much dreaded) partial "outie" belly button now to prove it. Yikes!

To date I've gained something like 23 lbs!! I try not to think about it too much. I just hope breastfeeding lives up to its hype in the weight loss department.

*A special congrats to fellow (now former) preggo, Jamie who welcomed beautiful 6 lb and 9 oz baby boy "Deuce" into the world today. Yay!
